If your binges happen every night, you are looking at a real live addiction. Consider asking your doctor about the prescription drug naltrexone. It could help you ditch those mojitos for good.
Take a “How Much Is Too Much?” test at alcoholscreening.org. And you can always drop by an AA meeting and sit in the back to see what they’re like (nyintergroup.org). Not into the whole higher-power thing? Try Agnostic AA. agnosticaanyc.org
Get your drinking buddies together and join a weekend sports league. You’ll all cut down after a few hangover losses. zogsports.org

If the “Truth” commercials don’t get to you, go see the effects of smoking on a real human lung (and drinking on a liver) at the “Bodies” exhibition. South St Seaport, Front St at Fulton St (646-837- 0300)
